I would have thought the dealer would have given you the VIN once your car got to the UK. Speak to your salesperson in the morning and ask if it’s on a stop. Usually 2 or 3 days should see it through the workshop ready for delivery, or it could be that they have a lot going out in March.

I thought as much. Just didn’t want to be that arse ringing and complaining if it wasn’t justified. I was certain the new cars I’ve bought previously from the same place were turned around in less than week. All in all, pretty terrible experience with the dealer, been messed around from the get go.

Let us know how you get on,
- Get the VIN - You can add it into the app - Get confirmation you can pick it up on Saturday or a day to suit, if not why not and get some photos from them. Has something happened to it and that's why it's delayed. - If its not been registered yet and it shouldn't be if they have not done anything with it get them to wait until the 1st of March as you will get a 24 plate car. - You at least need a few freebies for the delay or some flowers, most dealers what them out of the door to get the sales into the system. Hope it all goes well |

Finally picked up my 30e yesterday, ordered in July. I had also been
told mid March and 10 days ago they told me car was at Cuxhaven waiting to be shipped to UK and then 2 days later was told it was on the transporter on the way to the dealer, doesn’t take long to get from Cuxhaven but pretty sure it takes longer than 2 days to arrange for shipment and then arrange to get it onto The right transporter to the dealer. Not sure if it’s the dealers not chasing for updates or whether it’s BMW being bad at giving them although my suspicion is it’s more the dealers, there average call back time is over 24 hours.

The system is broken in markets outside the US, if we had a similar tracking solution the we would all be better off. Why it’s only in one market and not all is baffling but hey that’s BMW for you sometimes.

(Ireland) A 23d M Sport arrived at my usual dealer the past few days and they seem to be under the impression that I ordered it.
I remember last March looking at a speculative build on the configurator with sales, they must have pushed the order button Delivery time was unknown, no money discussed, no handshake or nothing signed. The Blue Bay Lagoon looks great even on a grey Irish day. It's well loaded, I hope they find a buyer for it

Greetings from Denmark.
We ordered an iX1 eDrive20 on 16th February with the following spec.: Cape York Green Metallic M-Sport Premium Package Comfort Package Electrically adjustable passenger's seat Veganza Mocha interior We did not order any of the driving assistant packages as the Premium package in Denmark at least includes fitting of needed equipment in the car for the Driving Assistant Plus package to allow us to buy this via the BMW store afterwards. This is a cheaper option for us, so we chose that. Delivery prospects were around wk. 16. I then realized that without ordering the Driving Assistant package, the car would not have such basic equipment as blind spot assist, which I find to be quite odd. I therefore asked the dealership to add the Driving assistant package and remove the Veganza Mocha interior to somehow compensate for the increase in price. I was in doubt about the Veganza leather anyway, so did not make a big difference for us. The dealership reverted with the message that the car had already been locked for production, so no changes could be made. They then offered to shift our order to another car they had ordered which could still be changed, which we accepted. Quite happy about that. Delivery prospect now is wk. 18. Can't wait to get the car, although I realize that we do not have to wait as long as some in this thread have had to. Unfortunately, in Denmark we do not get the option to track our orders online. Everything has to go through the dealer, which is a shame. Therefore I have no option to track the car's progress. |

Yeah the packages and what comes in them is odd, BMW is wanting you to spend more money on things others are now offering as standard. It's all about profit, but will be great when you get it.

Received message from the dealership on Wednesday this week that our iX1 had gone into production and received its VIN number.
Car was ordered late February. Since it only has to be transported across the border to Denmark, I hope it will be delivered soon. |

Stepping out of the waiting room for pending orders to arrive now.
Took delivery of our iX1 eDrive20 M-Sport yesterday. Ordered mid of February. It will be my wife´s car, and she is already quite happy with it. This is our first BMW, and so far we are very happy with the choice. |

Long time lurker, first time poster. Ordered our X1 last weekend, scheduled for week 26 build.
sDrive 20i M Sport M Sport Pro Pack Tech Plus Pack Sun protection Driving Assistant HK speakers 20" alloys Alpine White Was fun trying to figure out what is and isn't included in the packs. Seems a lot has changed recently. For instance I had to get the HK speakers (so i didn't have the black plastic inserts) and driving assistant (for blind spot indication on the mirrors) and these both weren't included in any packs. You would think with the two top packages you would get most options. Regardless, cannot wait. Quite the upgrade from a 5-door mini |

Ordered our X1 30e MSport on 13th March as dealer told us he had build allocation for May/June. I’ve got to say I didn’t believe him as i thought they only wanted an order.
Got an email from the dealer two weeks ago and as expected he told me there was no further info on the car and it would probably be June. I was on live chat with BMW on Friday and they told me the car is code 195 - exit from port with estimated arrival w/c 13th May! Nice surprise! Portimao Blue Tech plus pack Sun protection glass 19” alloy wheels Getting exciting now! |
